Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 1 cup heavy cream (Must be cold for better whipping.)
  • 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter (Natural peanut butter can be used for a healthier option.)
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar (Adjust to taste for sweetness.)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (For flavor enhancement.)

Instructions

  1. Preparation: Ensure the heavy cream is cold to achieve optimal whipping texture.
  2. Whip the Cream: In a mixing bowl, pour the cold heavy cream. Using a hand mixer, beat it until soft peaks form, meaning the cream should hold shape but still be slightly soft.
  3. Mix Peanut Butter Base: In a separate bowl, combine the creamy peanut butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Stir until the mixture is smooth and well combined without lumps.
  4. Combine Mixtures: Gently fold the peanut butter mixture into the whipped cream. Use a spatula to carefully mix until fully blended, preserving the airy texture.
  5. Chill: Spoon the mousse into serving dishes and place them in the refrigerator. Chill for at least 30 minutes to allow the mousse to set and develop flavors.

Notes

  • For best results, use cold heavy cream straight from the fridge.
  • Adjust powdered sugar quantity according to your preferred sweetness level.
  • Natural peanut butter can be a healthier alternative but may change the texture slightly.
  • The mousse can be served with toppings like chocolate shavings, crushed peanuts, or a drizzle of honey for added flavor.
  • Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator and consume within 2 days.
